I inspected the fire again and there's nothing in it that's illegal or prohibited.

It's nothing but wood and it's basically down to a smolder at this point.

The wood, I don't know if it's just damp, and that's why it's producing a lot of smoke.

01:02

But everything's in order.

01:05

Ten four, thanks for checking.
